Boston Red Sox Sign Urbina, Nixon

Reliever Ugueth Urbina agreed to a $6.7 million contract Friday with the Boston Red Sox and outfielder Troit Nixon agreed to a $2.7 million, one-year deal.

Nixon hit .280 with a career high 27 home runs and 88 RBIs last season. He played 70 games in center field and 83 games in right, and hit .393 against right-handed pitching.

He is a career .277 hitter in three full seasons with Boston.

Urbina was acquired in a trade with Montreal July 31. He had a 2.25 ERA with nine saves in 19 appearances for Boston. Urbina has a career record of 31-27 with a 2.46 ERA.

Boston has three players remaining in arbitration. Rolando Arrojo asked for $2.8 million and was offered $1.9 million; Rich Garces asked for $2.6 million and was offered $1.8 million; and Brian Daubach asked for $2.5 million and was offered $2.15 million.
